Estados Unidos se coronó campeón de la Nations League de la Concacaf, luego de vencer a México por 3-2, en un partido que fue un verdadero remolino de emociones.
Hubo goles, múltiples llegadas a los pórticos, amagues de batallas campales, VAR, prórroga y hasta un penal perdido en el minuto 123.
"El Partido Que Nadie Quiere Perder", hoy tiene un nuevo capítulo. En Denver, Colorado, México y Estados Unidos vuelven a enfrentarse, esta vez para decidir al campeón de la Nations League de la Concacaf.
Nunca hay que poner títulos con la palabra “aburrido” o cualquier cosa que sugiera que la historia no es digna de contar, pero, ¡ay, muchachos! qué soporífico fue el amistoso entre las selecciones olímpicas de México y Rumanía. Justito después del almuerzo fue difícil mantener los ojos abiertos, pero por suerte Jesús “Canelo” Angulo dio algo para hablar y un triunfo para el Tri.
Still awake? The USMNT and Honduras did battle in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals for a grueling 90 minutes on Thursday with the U.S. claiming a 1-0 victory. The game featured at least five Honduras players being taken out on a stretcher (they magically healed and were quick to get back on the field). The fact that four Concacaf stretcher girls produced the most noise from the crowd is a testament to the overall performance.
As the world heals from the pandemic, pick-up matches are on their way back as well. Pick-up matches exemplify all the best parts of soccer: intense rivalries, healthy competition and the opportunity to sharpen your skills.
Fresh off his contributions in the UEFA Champions League final, Christian Pulisic is expected to start Thursday when the United States men's national team faces Honduras in a CONCACAF Nations League semifinal in Denver.
Pulisic came on as a substitute in the 66th minute of Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester City in Porto, Portugal. In a prime scoring chance, Pulisic had a shot that went just wide of the left post with an opportunity to give Chelsea a two-goal lead.
It was a foggy Saturday morning soccer match and I was defending the goal spectating the action going on the field. I had stopped a few shots earlier in the match and my confidence was quickly rising. Thoughts raced through my head, realizing that I was about to officially record my first clean sheet of the season. Then as clear as day the ball was passed to me, and as I went to stop it with my foot it slowly but surely skipped right below my outstretched foot and into the awaiting net behind me.
A Clint Dempsey Nations League crossover is on the cards for viewers. The on-air talent team for the Concacaf Nations League dropped and has a plethora of familiar faces and former USMNT members.
